Are you interested in being part of the Orchard Collective?
Already keen but haven’t been for a while?
We look after the mixed orchard at the RESEED Centre, learning and enjoying working together. Bring some lunch to share and your enthusiasm, join us for a Sunday morning in the garden at the RESEED Centre.
Our vision for how we wish to engage and benefit the community has been summed up as follows:
Shared equipment/equipment library
Workshops & community learning
Seed saving & seed library
Repair cafe
Challenges/competitions (eg pumpkin or radish growing competition)
Art & craft
Environmental projects (eg insect hotels)
Celebrations (harvest party .etc)
Communal cooking & processing of harvests
We are looking hear from others about what they would be interested in seeing in the community and also if someone feels they have something to provide that fits this vision.
Thanks everyone!
